GNRS 582A - Pathophysiology Quiz 1
Exam 2025
The type of necrosis most commonly seen in the brain is
________________ - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Liquefactive
The type of necrosis most commonly seen in the pancreas is
____________ - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Fat
________________ necrosis is most commonly seen in a distal
extremity or a loop of bowel - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Gangrenous
Which type of necrosis is most commonly seen in the heart? - Correct
Answer ✔️✔️Coagulative
______________ necrosis is most commonly seen in small arteries -
Correct Answer ✔️✔️Fibrinoid
Pain - Correct Answer ✔️✔️An unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience
,It is a protective and complex phenomenon made up of sensory
experiences
Whatever the experiencing person says it is
Nociception - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Processing of potentially
harmful (noxius) stimuli through a functioning nervous system
"process of feeling of pain"
Transduction - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Begins when tissues
damaged by exposure to noxious stimuli and is converted to
electrophysiological activity (nerve impulse)
Transmission - Correct Answer ✔️✔️conduction of pain
impulses along A-delta and C fibers to the dorsal horn of the spinal
cord and on to the brainstem, thalamus, and cortex
Perception - Correct Answer ✔️✔️the conscious awareness of
pain --> affected by emotions and thoughts
, Modulation - Correct Answer ✔️✔️the physiologic process of
suppressing or facilitating (enhancing) the transmission of pain signals
throughout the nervous system
Afferent pathways - Correct Answer ✔️✔️PNS → "gate" in the
dorsal horn → ascend to higher centers in the CNS
Interpretive centers - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Where pain gets
processed; located in the brainstem, midbrain, diencephalon, and
cerebral cortex
Efferent pathways - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Descend form the
interpretive centers → "gate" in the dorsal horn → modulate pain
Pain inhibitors - Correct Answer ✔️✔️GABA and glycine
Endogenous opioids
Endocannabinoids
Serotonin and norepinephrine
